Evan Davis has presented the British television series Dragon's Den for most of its run.
Davis is a British journalist, broadcaster and economist who became the programme’s principal presenter after its early period. His role is to introduce the entrepreneurs, keep the episode moving and provide context around the business proposals, rather than act as one of the investing Dragons.
His background in economics and journalism fits the programme’s emphasis on sales, valuation, ownership and commercial strategy. The presenter often helps viewers understand figures that may otherwise be difficult to follow during rapid negotiations.
Adrian Chiles presented the earliest British episodes, so the two names are sometimes mixed up. Chiles was the original presenter, while Evan Davis became the long-running face of the programme and is the presenter most associated with its established format.
